Preview of New Broadside: “Anonymous”

Earlier this year, the first people who kindly pre-ordered the hardcover edition of The Gorelets Omnibus after it was initially announced by the publisher were promised a free exclusive broadside as a bonus. If that’s you, let me assure you the delay was entirely my fault — the poem that I wrote for this cause just wasn’t quite right, and I try to treat these things special. But now I’ve got something done that I’m proud of and it is heading out in the mail to you. Enjoy!

Here’s a purposely-blurry preview, so you can see what’s to come.

This Exclusive Broadside Could Be Yours!

The broadside poem is entitled “Anonymous” and is limited to twenty-five signed, numbered copies, uncannily dated 6/6/12. Some of these will go to lucky subscribers of The Goreletter newsletter, so if you haven’t signed up for that yet, there’s still time and please do (or please make sure your email address is correct by signing up again — the server will tell you if you’re good to go).

I like doing quirky and creative things like this when I can. You can get a whiff of some other broadsides I’ve done in the past on scribd.com — and they sometimes are reprinted in collections, like my book awhile back from Dark Regions Press, called Proverbs for Monsters.

Press & Praise

Mike Arnzen is the craftiest horror writer in the Biz, and his book Licker is among the best in his library. Devilish, bizarre and irreverent, this book has everything: an insatiable plot, finger-licking prose, and characters who will eat your heart out with a wooden spoon! Arnzen has imagination pouring out of every orifice.
